wifi to cable

[Michael Butash]

Keep in mind, if they're saying your internet is "wifi", than they run the
infrastructure in-house, and might not allow you to bridge behind their
service.  Most wifi setups limit you to a single mac, so simply bridging
through isn't good enough, you'll need to NAT out the wifi.  This is a bit
backward from how ddwrt does it, and will require some special/custom
config.

Sort of crappy they "only" provide you a wifi-only option - is this some
sort of apartment, dorms, or...?  Considering most hotels I've been in run
the worst wifi experiences I can find, I can't imagine any MDU operations
properly manage wireless oversubscription and overuse properly to keep the
entire experience anything less than crap as a primary means of
connectivity.

You can always get one of these to deal with those pesky wifi hog
neighbors...
